Sentence examples for multiple trait optima from inspiring English sources

In contrast, body size diversification conforms to an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model with multiple trait optima.

Thus, large changes in WUE enabled some genotypes to approach vegetative and reproductive trait optima across environments.

Multiple trait models were fit to estimate genetic covariances among traits.

Chromosomal regions affecting multiple traits (multiple trait quantitative trait regions or MQR) in dairy cattle were detected using a method based on results from single trait analyses to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL).

Theoretical models of sperm size evolution [26] [28] predict that under diploid control (i.e. male genotype), certain sperm trait optima might exist at given levels of sperm competition.

Second, if sperm phenotype is under diploid control (i.e. by the male genotype), certain sperm trait optima can be predicted at different levels of sperm competition [27].

In contrast, evolution of laying-date plasticity towards new trait optima may be constrained by a lack of among-individual variation.

We here focus on habitat loss, where the immediate consequences of environmental change might include increasing isolation, reduced carrying capacity, increased environmental variation, and shifts in local trait optima (Carvajal-Rodríguez et al. 2005; McClure et al. 2008).

An important development of sexual selection theory has been the increased focus on sexual conflict resulting from opposing trait optima of the two sexes (Parker 1979, 2014; Arnqvist and Rowe 2005; Kokko and Jennions 2014) (Fig.  2A).

Although some of these QTL studies considered multiple traits, they were analysed separately thus neglecting possible genetic correlations between traits.
